Revises provisions relating to real property. (BDR 3-222)
SB 236 revises Nevada law to clarify rights for property owners and occupants in disputes over dwellings. It defines "squatter" (not a tenant) for summary court proceedings and shortens the time locked-out occupants have to seek reentry (from 7 to 3 days) and the time owners must store belongings (from 30 to 15 days). The bill also expands the crime of unlawful occupancy to cover taking residence in *any* dwelling without permission - whether vacant or occupied - without owner consent. These changes directly affect property owners, occupants locked out of dwellings, and law enforcement handling eviction-related cases.
